Cortez Homeboy

Funny: Well, this week we convinced the Senior Couple that we indeed had the best area. We took Elder Walker out a few times this week and each one was filled with food. The highlights were taking him out to Tonelea and the Whiterocks fed us massive Navajo Tacos, and we helped rototill a nonmember’s garden and they fed us 24 oz steaks. It was incredible and forever will Elder Walker be saying that Tuba City 2nd Ward is the best haha!

Spiritual: We had an incredible visit with the White family. We had gone over a few times in the past but only the daughter had seemed very interested. It was getting a little bit frustrating. When we went over this last Wednesday, we only were able to catch the Father home. He invited us in and for the first few minutes we just sat in silence. It seemed that whenever anyone tried to speak, they couldn't. Finally, the Father broke down. He told us that he used to be an active member but after some bad mistakes he just felt that he wasn't able to come back. We talked and by the end of the lesson we had helped him to understand that God loves him no matter where he is or what he has done. It filled my soul that I get the chance to be a witness of such miraculous change in people and to have the Holy Ghost to guide me as to what they need.

Where I am going: I am sadly being booted off of the rez :( I am headed instead for Cortez Colorado! From everything that I have heard it sounds like a great place to go. In addition to that I am fulfilling the old curse on the Durango Zone, that is that if you serve there once you are destined to serve there again. Well, here I go... In other news, Tuba is being left in the capable hands of Elder Standley and Elder Sorensen so I have no doubt that great things will continue to happen. It is such a blessed area and a great place to have served. I will miss these people a lot!

Love ya'
